You Know Me Closely

Psalm 139:3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. (NIV)

As David went throughout his life journey he recognized God in many areas of his life. There seemed to be no area of his life that God did not impact in powerful ways. David experienced God’s depth as he went about his daily acts as well as the time when he rested.

David being a man after God’s own heart made a deep connection with the Spirit and might of our most holy God!

The Apostle Paul also experienced the working of God in his life as he shared in his letter to the Romans.

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (NKJV)

God is constantly at work in our lives, planning for the present, directing us for our greater benefits into our future “my going out and my lying down.”

Key Thought: Rest assured, God is always at work in our lives.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, help me to be aware of Your continuous movement in my life, bringing about the fulfillment of Your purposes in me. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!!!

In Christ,

Two Mind Sets

Two Mind Sets Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV) Today’s verse shows the struggle that occurs between two great forces. We are physically born into this world with a sinful nature, but when we are born again as a new person in Christ, we are given the distinct advantage of the power of the cross. Yet even with this great resource available to us as believers it can be quite difficult to live in accordance with the Spirit . Often, we fail to use these great resources available to us because we simply do not ask for God to intervene in times of trials and tribulation. He wants us to call on His name to help us in growing as believers in Christ. The key here is to recognize the sinful nature so that you know when the temptations of old arise and can dismiss Satan with a single comment. Jesus was tempted in Matth...

Eye Has Not Seen

Eye Has Not Seen 1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (NKJV) What would happen if you stopped and took notice of the things God has prepared for you in the past as well as the future? We are not a complicated creation to Him, but we are very complicated to us. He created us and the plans He has for us are geared to our character which He created. Let’s face it folks, we are the ones who mess things up. Let’s stop, sit down with the Word of God, and thank Him first, then open that conversation with Him. He waits for that interchange. We stop the conversation with Him with an AMEN!!! I challenge us to open God’s Word and begin our prayers. He knows your heart in advance. Ask God to put it together for you so you can be better prepared for what He has planned. His preparation is His Word, the Bible. I know some folks who did this and they became so overwhelmed at God mo...

Our Willing Savior

Our Willing Savior Matthew 8:2-3   A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, “Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man ,  “I am willing,”   He said. “Be clean!”    Immediately he was cured of leprosy.  (NIV) This remarkable story of healing is powerful. But I would like for us to focus on the phrase stated by Jesus: “ I am willing,”   These few words are often overlooked on their own as a statement in themselves, but they speak volumes of what Jesus desires to do for us.  He is willing . He does not negotiate terms, He simply loves and guides us daily when in our hearts, we truly want more and more of Him.  Key Thought: He is willing to always give more of Himself to us than we can ever imagine. Today, let us start with this request. “Lord if you are willing” …… Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Give me Your peace, in Your time, that I may share...
